You have money in an account at 6% interest, compounded monthly. To the nearest year, how long
will it take for your money to double.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount now be x , meaning principal is x

and the amount later A is 2x

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

n = 12

2x = x (1 + 0.06/12)^12t

divide through by x

2 = (1+ 0.005)^12t

2 = (1.005)^12t

Take log of both sides

log 2 = 12t log 1.005

12t = log2/log 1.005

12t = 138.975721610697

t = 138.975721610697/12

t = 11.58

t = 12 years

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
